card reader not mounting SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash Cards

Hello,

I am having this issue with reading a CopactFlash card I recently bought. It is a SanDisk Extreme UDMA card. When insterted into a card reader the reader does not mount like it does when SanDisk Ultra II cards are mounted. This computer is fist generation MBP and runs SL OS. I tried it on another MBP with lion on it and the reader works just fine. Is there somthing that I need to download and install do you think?

Thanks in advance,

Farzad

MBP, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

If the card reader is to old it may not be able to read UDMA cards.

I know I upgraded to UDMA, I wrote to Lexar about the problem. They replaced the card reader with a newer model that worked.

You might ask SanDisk if they will do the same thing for you.

Thank you. That very well might be the problem. I am using a DYNEX. Maybe I will contact them or just get a new reader.
